No deal Brexit good for Democrats

[FredZim]

Nearly all economists agree a nondeal Brexit will cause an recession. Considering the US economy is on thin ice. A UK and EU recession will exacerbate a weakening US economy, which is bad for Trump. The premise is a curtain percentage of Trump supporters have overlooked Trump's antics as long the US economy is going OK. But will finally give up if that is faltering.

1. Fred, I don't want to wish

a no deal Brexit on our British cousins. A recession in the US is being predicted by market analysts based on the current pResident's malfeasance of office, not on Brexit.

2. Too early to know that

There may be agreement on whether it will cause a recession in the UK and/or EU, but not necessarily in the US. To the extent that either side replaces bilateral trade with each other with trade with the US instead, it could even be a minor positive.

3. let's not go down this road.

Of course a recession is bad for the incumbent, but it is certainly not something we wish for (despite what some say).

Actually Brexit is bad. No deal Brexit is worse.
